Summer Housing Update

submitted by blom@augsburg.edu

We continue to closely monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our ability to provide summer housing. Due to the State-wide regulations put in place and to account for the safety of our community, summer housing will not be available to the Augsburg community other than those students who fit into the categories below AND currently live on campus.

The residence halls only remain open this summer for our resident students who currently reside on campus and are unable to find alternative housing for the following reasons:
1. International students
2. Students who have insecure housing
3. Students whose home is not safe
4. Students with health reasons

We are directing all students who do not currently live on campus and those who live on campus currently but fall outside of these four categories to pursue off campus options at this time.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Residence Life at residencelife@augsburg.edu for further information.

Cloth Face Masks Now Required while on Campus

submitted by quella@augsburg.edu

The Minnesota Department of Health has released updated masking guidelines for Institutes of Higher Education. All staff, faculty and students MUST wear cloth face masks while in any common areas while on campus property. Resident students must wear them while out of their residence hall living spaces.

**Wearing cloth masks does not replace the need to adhere to frequent hand washing, avoiding touching the face, and practicing social distancing, which are our best tools to help prevent the spread of illness. More information from the CDC is linked below:

Tracking COVID-19 Expenses – Subobject 6457

submitted by stepanek@augsburg.edu

Subobject # 6457:

People should use the 6457 sub-object number when coding invoices and p-card expenses that are the result of Augsburg’s response to the coronavirus. Augsburg will need this information as it monitors the appropriate use of federal stimulus funds and other governmental aid, assesses the impact for insurance purposes, and reports the financial impact to the Board, bond holders and credit agencies. So, being thorough is very important.

If anyone runs into issues (e.g., a cost center not set up for subobjects), they can email Administrative Accounting (administrative.accounting.grp@augsburg.edu).

Thank you.

Status Update on Augsburg Events

submitted by cashdar@augsburg.edu

Augsburg University is not scheduling or rescheduling any in-person events at this time, as there is much uncertainty about when in-person events will again be safe in light of COVID-19. Event planners are reaching out to event hosts through August 31, 2020, to cancel, postpone, or discuss virtual options. Events scheduled after September 1, 2020, are tentative, unless the event host has already canceled on their own. Summer camps and conferences fall into a different category and planners will be reaching out to each camp and conference host in the next week.

We are scheduling virtual events. Please fill out an event form and a planner will be assigned to you. The planner will walk you through the virtual options and help determine the best fit.

This situation is rapidly evolving, so all conditions will be monitored and are subject to change. Updates will be provided as necessary.

We look forward to helping you design your virtual event.

Student Government COVID-19 Resolution

submitted by adebanjm@augsburg.edu

Greetings Augsburg Community. I hope all is well with you at this time and you have had a lovely Palm Sunday. I also pray you have a reason to smile on this blessed Miracle Monday morning.

Below you will find an all-important document attached. This document has been composed by Augsburg Day Student Government, but is based off of the information/opinions gathered from a campus-wide petition, extensive communication with student leaders, and a pair of submitted polls from the Day Student Body. This document was then discussed among a panel of ADSG’s finest constituents and voted upon last Friday, April 3rd.

ADSG is an administration initially established to further the educational goals and general welfare of the Augsburg community. We operate in all areas on campus, including environmental action, university finances, and immigration efforts.
My role as The Student Advocate deems me as the elected official to address student concerns; the elected official to serve as liaison for all students in need of representation.

In the first resolution, we came forward to show our support for Augsburg University’s decisions in light of this pandemic. We also came forward to make requests such as: The continuation of housing and dining services; Guaranteed pay for student workers scheduled on the week of march 23rd; Prorated refunds from meal plans, parking passes and residential housing; and the request for a Guaranteed Commencement ceremony once MDH Policy permits.

This next resolution also presents a set of requests, but they pertain more to the individual struggles we students are facing during this stay-at-home order. They include: an alternative and alleviated grading system; guaranteed pay for student workers; and reimbursement for students who already purchased a cap and gown.

Please click the link below, take the time to read said document, and reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns.

With Love,
Miracle Adebanjo

Support the Brian Coyle Center Food Shelf

submitted by peacock@augsburg.edu

The Brian Coyle Center is continuing to operate its food shelf despite closing down all other programming. Unsurprisingly, they have seen a dramatic increase in the number of people coming to receive food and expect those numbers will continue to rise. They are struggling to meet the demand. Due to safety concerns, the Brian Coyle Center is no longer accepting food donations, which means they are only receiving food for distribution by purchasing it from partner food banks.

Please help meet the increasing need for food in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood by making a donation today. Each $1 donated allows the Brian Coyle Center to purchase $7 worth of food for distribution to neighbors. To donate, go to https://pillsburyunited.org/covid19/. Use the Comments section to designate your gift for the Brian Coyle Center Food Shelf. Thank you for supporting our community at this critical time.

Update on Internships and Augsburg Experience

submitted by tilton@augsburg.edu

The Strommen Center has been in communication with the Registrar, Academic Deans, and Chief Student Success Officer to create a plan to accommodate students during this unusual circumstance and to honor the work they have already put into their internships. An email has been sent to all Faculty Supervisors of students currently completing internships.

As you are aware, we recognize that students are likely to be nervous about their futures, including what is happening with internships that they are currently registered for.

On Friday, March 20th we emailed all students who are currently registered for an academic spring internship or a 0 – credit Augsburg Experience. The message in the email included the following text:

In this time of uncertainty, we want you to know that we are here to support you in completing your spring internship.

Since you are registered for a spring internship, the University wants you to know that if your internship site is closed or you are no longer able to meet your hours because of issues related to the coronavirus, Augsburg will honor the work you have already completed.

Please work with your faculty supervisor to determine what needs to happen for credit to be granted. Any student who was using their internship to meet the Augsburg Experience requirement will be granted Augsburg Experience.

For those students that are able to continue to work at their internship you should complete your commitment.

If you have questions, please contact Sandy Tilton, Employer Relations & Operations Associate at 612-330-1472 or email strommen.internships@augsburg.edu

Watch out for phishing and scams during this time

submitted by krajewsk@augsburg.edu

Hackers and cybercriminals often use current events as a basis for their attacks. Unfortunately, they are now leveraging the hype and fear around the Covid-19 pandemic to spread malware (malicious software), and steal passwords and data. Be on the lookout for Covid-19-related scams in emails, text messages, phone calls and on social media. The following tips can help protect you from these scams and attacks:

== When in doubt, throw it out. ==

o Avoid suspicious links and attachments in emails, tweets, posts, news stories and online advertising. Delete suspicious emails and/or click the spam button, as appropriate.

== Think before you act. ==

o Be wary of communications that implore you to act immediately, offer something that sounds too good to be true, or ask for personal information. “Special” offers claiming a coronavirus cure or offering free or low cost health insurance may be fraudulent.

o Only open files or attachments from trusted and expected sources. Malicious Covid-19 related documents and infection maps have already been used to compromise systems and spread malware.

o Verify a sender’s email address before clicking on email links or replying.

o Hover over links to see the real destination

== Use trusted sources. ==

o Stick to legitimate, trusted government websites or news sources for up-to-date, fact-based information about COVID-19.

o Disinformation campaigns can spread discord, manipulate the public conversation, influence policy development, and/or disrupt markets.

o Covid-19 themed websites (website names that contain “corona,” “covid19”, or something similar) are 50% more likely to be malicious than other sites.

Support the Brian Coyle Center Food Shelf

submitted by peacock@augsburg.edu

The Brian Coyle Center is continuing to operate its food shelf despite closing down all other programming. Unsurprisingly, they have seen a dramatic increase in the number of people coming to receive food and expect those numbers will continue to rise. They are struggling to meet the demand. Due to safety concerns, the Brian Coyle Center is no longer accepting any food donations, which means they are only receiving food for distribution by purchasing it from partner food banks.

Please help meet the increasing need for food in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood by making a donation today. Each $1 donated allows the Brian Coyle Center to purchase $7 worth of food for distribution to neighbors. To donate, go to https://pillsburyunited.org/covid19/. Use the Comments section to designate your gift for the Brian Coyle Center Food Shelf. Thank you for helping to support our community at this critical time.

Update on Academic Internships and Augsburg Experience

submitted by tilton@augsburg.edu

The Strommen Center has been in communication with the Registrar, Academic Deans, and Chief Student Success Officer to create a plan to accommodate students during this unusual circumstance and to honor the work they have already put into their internships. An email has been sent to all Faculty Supervisors of students currently completing internships.

As you are aware, we recognize that students are likely to be nervous about their futures, including what is happening with internships that they are currently registered for.

On Friday, March 20th we emailed all students who are currently registered for an academic spring internship or a 0 – credit Augsburg Experience. The message in the email included the following text:

In this time of uncertainty, we want you to know that we are here to support you in completing your spring internship.

Since you are registered for a spring internship, the University wants you to know that if your internship site is closed or you are no longer able to meet your hours because of issues related to the coronavirus, Augsburg will honor the work you have already completed.

Please work with your faculty supervisor to determine what needs to happen for credit to be granted. Any student who was using their internship to meet the Augsburg Experience requirement will be granted Augsburg Experience.

For those students that are able to continue to work at their internship you should complete your commitment.

If you have questions, please contact Sandy Tilton, Employer Relations & Operations Associate at 612-330-1472 or email strommen.internships@augsburg.edu

Mental Health Tips in Uncertain Times

1. Separate what is in your control from what is not.
2. Do what helps you feel a sense of safety.
3. Get outside in nature while keeping social distancing in mind.

Status Update on Canceled Augsburg Events

submitted by cashdar@augsburg.edu

As the Minnesota Department of Health shared new measures to slow the spread of COVID-19—and as those guidelines remain in place—University Events has been working with our campus partners to address bringing Augsburg events into compliance.

As of Wednesday night, we’ve contacted all event hosts with events through May 1 and some—for which event hosts reached out to us proactively—for later in May. If you have an event scheduled prior to May 1 and haven’t heard from your planner please reach out to them. If you are hosting an event know you can independently cancel your event. If you decide to cancel your event please notify your planner as soon as possible so they can assist with navigating the cancellation.

There are three alternatives we are discussing with event hosts:

1. Live Stream / Video Conference (or other alternate modality) – Some events can be conducted online, via conference call, or in other ways that do not require face-to-face interaction.

2. Postpone – For events that will be postponed, we are asking event hosts to hold off on rescheduling for specific future dates at this time. Augsburg will be monitoring the situation and University Events will be in touch with updates about rescheduling.

3. Cancel – Many events won’t be able to be rescheduled for a number of reasons.

At this time we are not scheduling in-person events or rescheduling events that would take place March 26 – July 31, 2020. University Events is scheduling and planning virtual events. Fill out the event form for your virtual event and a planner will be assigned to you.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Be well,

Packages on Campus

submitted by suter@augsburg.edu

STUDENTS
If you had a package delivered during spring break or have something that will be delivered to campus and you are either not planning on returning to campus due to COVID-19 we have a couple ways to resolve this.

1. We can return the package to the sender as unclaimed which should result in a refund of your purchase or a message from the sender.
2. If your package was shipped via the United States Postal Service (USPS) we ARE able to forward your package if you provide us an address to send it to.
3. If your package was shipped via UPS, FedEx, Amazon or other carrier there is no included forwarding so we would have to send it via UPS. Prices range from $4-$25 depending on how fast you would like to ship/weight/size. We can take card #’s over the phone if you would like to use this option.

STAFF/FACULTY
Please let us know when you or someone in your department will be in and we will deliver in that time. Otherwise feel free to pick up your package if you will be around. If neither of those options work refer to the student package guide above.

Thank You
Central Services Staff
